Welcome Friends, to the first episode of ThursdAI recap.

If you can’t come to the spaces, subscribing is the next best thing. Distilled, most important updates, every week, including testimony and tips and tricks from a panel of experts. Join our community 👇

Every week since the day GPT-4 released, we’ve been meeting in twitter spaces to talk about AI developments, and it slowly by surely created a community that’s thirsty to learn, connect and discuss information.

Getting overwhelmed with daily newsletters about tools, folks wanted someone else to do the legwork, prioritize and condense the most important information about what is shaping the future of AI, today!

Hosted by AI consultant Alex Volkov (available for hire), CEO of Targum.video, this information-packed edition covered groundbreaking new releases like GPT 4.5, Claude 2, and Stable Diffusion 1.0. We learned how Code Interpreter is pushing boundaries in computer vision, creative writing, and software development. Expert guests dove into the implications of Elon Musk's new XAI startup, the debate around Twitter's data, and pioneering techniques in prompt engineering. If you want to stay on top of the innovations shaping our AI-powered tomorrow, join Alex and the ThursdAI community.

Since the audio was recorded from a twitter space, it has quite a lot of overlaps, I think it’s due to the export, so sometimes it sounds like folks talk on top of each other, most of all me (Alex) this was not the case, will have to figure out a fix.

00:02 (Speaker A) You. First of all, welcome to Thursday. We stay up to date so you

don't have to. There's a panel of experts on top here that discuss

everything.

00:11 (Speaker A) If we've tried something, we'll talk about this. If we haven't, and

somebody in the audience tried that specific new AI stuff, feel free

to raise your hand, give us your comment. This is not the space for

long debates.

00:25 (Speaker A) We actually had a great place for that yesterday. NISten and Roy from

Pine, some other folks, we'll probably do a different one. This

should be information dense for folks and this will be recorded and

likely we posted at some point.

00:38 (Speaker A) So no debate, just let's drop an opinion and discuss the new stuff

and kind of continue. And the goal is to stay up to date so you don't

have to in the audience. And I think with that, I will say hi to Alan

Janae and we will get started.

00:58 (Speaker B) Hi everyone, I'm NISten Tahira. I worked on, well, released one of

the first Docker chat bots on the market for Dr. Gupta and scaled it,

and now we're working on getting the therapist bought out once. We

can also pass more testing and get Voice to work at a profitable

manner because we don't really have VC. So at the scale of few

hundred thousand users, the API bills matter quite a bit.

01:31 (Speaker B) So, yeah, these spaces have been pretty helpful because I have some

trouble with running a Voice transformer, trying to run it on the

browser on web GPU, and then the person that wrote Transformers JS

comes in here and just says, oh yeah, that back end is messed up.

Just try blas and synth and stuff. So these have been very

interesting and technical spaces.

01:54 (Speaker A) Yeah, we need to get Zenova in here. Zenova is the guy who NISten was

referring to. Al Janae, do you want to give a few words of intro and

say hi and then we'll start? Just briefly, please, because I think we

need to get going.

02:09 (Speaker C) Sure. Hi, I'm Janae.

02:11 (Speaker D) I'm the resident noob, I started messing around with AI at the

beginning of.

02:16 (Speaker E) The year, and I also host the.

02:18 (Speaker D) Denver AI Tinkerers coming up next week.

02:20 (Speaker A) And if you're in Colorado area, greater Denver, please join us. It's

going to be a blast.

02:27 (Speaker F) Hi, I'm Al Chang. I'm kind of an old school technologist. Just

getting started with the AI again and just here to help.

02:36 (Speaker A) Yeah. All right, folks, so I think we've had a whole space on this.

Simon Wilson and me and many, many other folks chimed in. The second

this was released.

02:50 (Speaker A) Was that six? Was that Sunday? It's hard to keep track of actual

days. Saturday, Saturday, last week, exactly during those space
